Ingredients You’ll Need

Here's everything you need to whip up your own batch of Butterbeer Fudge. Chances are, most of these are already hiding in your pantry:

Butterbeer Fudge Layer (Bottom Layer)

• 10 tbsp salted butter (1 ¼ sticks)
• 4 oz marshmallow crème (¾ cup)
• ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup granulated white sugar
• ¼ cup caramel ice cream syrup
• 1 11-ounce bag butterscotch chips

White Chocolate Layer (Top Layer)

• ½ cup granulated white sugar
• ½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
• 3 oz marshmallow crème (the rest of the 7-ounce jar)
• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions: Conjure Up Your Fudge in 3 Simple Steps

Step 1: Brew the Butterscotch Layer

1. Melt and Stir: In a medium saucepan, combine salted butter, marshmallow crème, sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and caramel syrup. Stir constantly over medium-high heat, making sure not to burn your magical mixture.
2. Boil and Time It: Once it begins to boil, set a timer for 4 minutes. Keep stirring—just like brewing a potion—to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
3. Add Butterscotch Chips: Remove from heat, stir in butterscotch chips until smooth, and pour into an 8x8 inch parchment-lined pan. Pop it in the freezer to chill while you work your wizardry on the next layer.

Step 2: Craft the White Chocolate Layer

1. Melt and Mix: In a separate saucepan, repeat the process—combine the butter, marshmallow crème, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar. Keep stirring until it starts to boil.
2. Boil Quickly: Once boiling, lower the heat and boil for exactly 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
3. Add White Chocolate: Stir in the white chocolate chips until just melted, being careful not to overmix. Immediately pour this enchanted mixture over the butterscotch layer.
4. Chill and Set: Place the entire pan in the fridge for 2-3 hours (or in the freezer for 1 hour) until your fudge is completely set.

Step 3: Slice and Serve

• Once set, cut the Butterbeer Fudge into magical little 1-inch cubes.
• For an extra touch of wizarding flair, serve on a Harry Potter-themed platter or alongside your favorite butterbeer drink!
